CNE Mania

We spent 12.5 hours at the Canadian National Exhibition yesterday … OMG, so much fun! For those of you that don’t know, the CNE is a tradition in Toronto … around since 1879. I remember being just a wee kid and visiting the CNE and most Torontonians – I would argue – revisit it each summer throughout their lives. Here, in pictures, is some of what we did and saw:
